The opening months OF
1887 will long be noted for the
number of railroad accidents,
fraught with destruction to life
and property. Last Monday morn
ing added another, and the mosI
destructive, to the terrible list
The accident occurred on the Bos-
ton d Providence railroad, almost
IN the suburbs of Boston. The
train consisted of seven passenger
cars all heavily loaded, and one
baggage car. The bridge known as
Busy Park bridge gave way un-
der the train and five coaches were
precipitated to the bottom, a dis
tance of thirty-five feet. The train
was running at great speed, and
coaches were smashed into kind
ling wood. The latest reports state
that the killed and wounded reach
one hundred and fourteen.
The war clouds are again
beginning to gather. Germany's
war preparations are complete.
The army contracts have been
signed, the officers have sealed
marching orders and the expecta-
ton of Immediate war is almost
universal. Business is completely
suspended and the commercial re-
lations have been so much disturb
ed that opinion favors an immedi-
alta release from the tension.
Last Sunday an attempt
was made to assassinate the Gar
of Russia. Over two hundred ar
rests have been made in connec-
tion with the plot and reign of
terror exists. 1t Is thought that
Russia will adopt war as means
to get rid of home troubles.
The Soldiers Home at
Quincy is nearing completion, and
it is a relief to know that the first
soldiers assigned places in the new
home will be those who are now in
the poor houses of Illinois.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, June 6.-The Times
Union to-day, in an article summing up the
situation, says: There Is no yellow fever in
Florida except at Key West, which is on an
isolated island nearly 200 miles south of
Tampa, and nearly 100 miles from the near
est point on the main land which borders on
the everglades. There has been no yellow
fever at lamps or any other place on the
mainland. The health authorities are vigi-
liant in every county in the state. The
general health is excellent, and the sani-
tary conditions are good. The weather is
simply delightful, the heat being tempered
by constant sea breezes. Quarantine is
maintained against Key West and Havana,
and to make assurance doubly sure, certif-
Gates are required OF travellers to show
that they are not from the infected local.
ties. There is no danger whatever in any
one coming to Florida and going any
where in the state, except to Key West.

ST.. LOUIS, June A special from Little
Rock, Ark, says: There is much excitement
at Paris, Ark. Some time ago the
treasury was robbed of several thousand dol
lars. The grand jury, now sitting, has IN
dicted the suspected thieves, several proml-
nent persons being implicated. A man
named Carries surrendered himself to escape
mob violence. He says he will make full
confession. There is some talk OF lynchlng
all the guilty parties. ..... ..
THE STORY OF THE ROBBERY.
Fl. SMITH. ARK, June 4.-Hawkins Cor.
lev, deputy county treasurer of Logan cOun-
ty, was brought here to-day by Detective
Clay for robbing the safe of the
Logan county treasurer. The robbery
took place on the 18th of February,
and detectives have been working up the
case ever since, until the guilt has been
finally settled on Corley, Hiram and JEFF
Fort and Henry Nichols, of Paris, Logan
county. The circumstances of the robb1ng
are as follows. The Fort boys and Nichols
induced Hawkins to ascertain how much
money the sheriff had collected for taxes.
The sheriff told him, but as precautionary
measure sent the money to Little Rock and
deposited it there. The robbers we're not
advised of this, however, and going
to the sheriff's Office, blew open
his safe, but found it empty. They then
opened the treasurer'5 safe, robbed it of
ST., 200, broke the lock to pieces and salts
tracks they remained at Paris and
seemed to feel confident that
their crime would not be unearthed. Great
excitement prevails, for these men are all
well connected and heretofore stood we'll in
the community. The Fort boys are out on
bond. Nichols is at large and Hawkins is
new in the United States Jail at this place.
